An Italian television channel has released a recording of a conversation between an unidentified Costa Concordia crew member and the coastguard. The conversation, at 10.12pm, is the first after the ship hit rocks half an hour earlier. The coastguard says that police have been alerted by relatives of a sailor and that passengers said they had already been told to put on lifejackets

Eight more bodies have been recovered from the wreck of the Costa Concordia cruise ship, which collided with rocks on the shore of Giglio on 13 January. The confirmed death toll is now 25, but seven of the 4,200 passengers and crew members still remain unaccounted for. The newly discovered bodies were found in a submerged section of the fourth deck, not previously searched due to poor weather.
